The time is arriving

Many people are desperate with hunger and the desire to support their families. War is the only option out of a life of poverty for them and their family. I want to ask “Why is war the only option offered for a better life”?
Corruption does not come from the majority of the population. The majority simply suffer the consequences of decisions negotiated between Governments of different countries; Governments that have shared interests in opportunities to acquire land, petroleum, uranium, and other minerals which can be used to generate unimaginable wealth and develop new and more advanced technology.
Strangely, these very destructive things are fed to us by television, newspapers and radio stations as the “successes” of our world. For this I feel angriness deeply in my mind and heart. What is happening with our men’s direction, taking everybody to a final destruction? What kind of world is evolving for our decedents to inherit? They will pay the price for the greedy mistakes of others.
The common population only listen, but if nothing is affecting their own life then they do not act. But the time is arriving!  How much longer can we fold our arms, ignore the facts and go along with the wrongs of Governments? My suggestion is to take an active part in the urgent and necessary changes we have to produce in favour of stopping a possible third world war.

  1. 'What is happening with our men’s direction, taking everybody to a final destruction?' I totally agree. Why do mothers and daughters not take any responsibility and get involved at a local, county, national and international level to stop this slide towards fighting, war, destruction. This is not so much a feminist argument as a common observation. Women bring children into the world. They need to follow their responsibilities to those children by teaching them to love and respect others. Not all women are free to make such choices but even those who are - in the western world, for instance - they abandon their childrens' moral education at a shockingly early age.
